This Adult MHFA Two Day course qualifies you as a Mental Health First Aider.

This course will provide

• Confidence to step in, reassure and support a person in distress
• Enhanced interpersonal skills such as non-judgemental listening

What to expect

Learning takes place across four manageable sessions. Through a mix of group activities, presentations and discussions, each session is built around a Mental Health First Aid action plan.

We limit numbers to 16 people per course so that the instructor can keep people safe and supported while they learn.  

Everyone who completes the course gets:

• A manual to refer to whenever you need it
• A workbook including a helpful toolkit to support your own mental health
• A certificate of attendance to say you are a Mental Health First Aider
